The 2001 edition of Pub. 1310 Radar Navigation and Maneuvering Board Manual combines selected chapters from the sixth edition of Pub. 1310, Radar Navigation Manual, and the fourth edition of Pub. 217, Maneuvering Board Manual.This manual has been compiled by the editorial staff of the Maritime Safety Information Center at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency. It is intended to be used primarily as a manual of instruction in navigation schools and by naval and merchant marine personnel. By combining the previous editions of Pub. 1310 and Pub. 217 into one book we hope that we have provided a practical reference for mariners on board ship and instructors ashore. It is also intended to be of assistance to others who are concerned with marine radar in different and less direct ways.In combining the two manuals, every effort has been made to retain the original style and format which has proven to be clear and helpful to the maritime community. Most of the illustrations and examples have been carried forward into this edition.The chapter on ARPA has been expanded and now includes a sample operating manual for a modern commercial radar and ARPA. Many excellent other publications on ARPA are available and should be consulted for a more thorough understanding on this subject matter.Users should refer corrections, additions, and comments for improving this product to:MARITIME SAFETY INFORMATION CENTERNATIONAL IMAGERY AND MAPPING AGENCYST D 444600 SANGAMORE ROADBETHESDA MD 20816-5003

This fully revised new edition covers the complete radar/ARPA installation and serves as the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on equipment and techniques for radar observers using older and newer systems alike. Suitable for use as a professional reference or as a training text, the book covers all aspects of radar, ARPA and integrated bridge systems technology (including AIS, ECDIS and GNSS) and their role in shipboard operations. It is a valuable resource for larger vessels and also covers the needs of leisure and amateur sailors for whom this technology is now accessible. Radar and ARPA Manual provides essential information for professional mariners, including those on training courses for electronic navigation systems and professional certificates internationally. Reference is made throughout to IMO (International Maritime Organization) Performance Standards, the role of radar in navigation and in collision avoidance, and to international professional and amateur marine operations qualifications. - The most up-to-date book available, with comprehensive treatment of modern radar and ARPA systems and ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display & Information Systems) - Full coverage of IMO performance standards relating to radar and navigational technology on new and established vessels - Covers best practice use of equipment as well as underlying principles, with essential mathematics and complicated concepts illustrated through the use of clear illustrations

This practical textbook introduces the fundamental physics behind radar measurements, to guide students and practitioners in the proper interpretation of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity and dual-polarization imagery. Operational applications are explored, such as how radar imagery can be used to analyze and forecast convective and widespread weather systems. The book concludes with an overview of current research topics, including the study of clouds and precipitation using radars, signal processing, and data assimilation. Numerous full-color illustrations are included, as well as problem sets, case studies, and a variety of supplementary electronic material including animated time sequences of images to help convey complex concepts. This book is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in radar meteorology and other related courses, such as precipitation microphysics and dynamics. It will also make a useful reference for researchers, professional meteorologists and hydrologists.

This is the professional technician's practical guide to understanding the installation, maintenance and repair of modern radar systems. This book fully explains how the various types of modern radar systems operate. It is written at the level of the professional electronics repair technician, rahter than at the engineering level. Land, air and sea-based radar systems are all covered in a practical, as opposed to theoretical manner.

The leading text and reference on radar cross section (RCS) theory and applications, this work presents a comparison of two radar signal strengths. One is the strength of the radar bean sweeping over a target, the other is the strength of the reflected echo senses by the receiver. This book shows how the RCS "gauge" can be predicted for theoretical objects.
